Settling dust

[Verse] 
As I spend this time with loneliness 
I can’t help but wonder what happened 
I guess we loved but couldn’t get it right 
The wrong words, wrong turns, keep me up at night 

[pre chorus] 
When it started it felt so right, so innocent 
Sometimes life took a bite, we took the medicine 
But at some point our tolerance grew 
Now I’m living a life without you 

[chorus] 
Now in the calm nights and settling dust 
I start to think about what happened to us 
Avoidance and ignorance drove us apart 
Lost the game, placed the blame, and broke the heart 

[verse] 
As I spend this time with loneliness 
I hear the echos of every fight 
Like a haunted room, a ghost in plain sight 
The wrong words, wrong turns, keep me up at night 

[pre chorus] 
When it started it felt so right, so innocent 
Sometimes life took a bite, we took the medicine 
But at some point our tolerance grew 
Now I’m living a life without you 

[chorus] 
Now in the calm nights and settling dust 
I start to think about what happened to us 
Avoidance and ignorance drove us apart 
Lost the game, placed the blame, and broke the heart 
Now in the calm nights and settling dust 
I start to think about what happened to us 
Misguidance and influence drove us apart 
Gained the shame, pushed the blame, and lost the heart 

[Verse] 
As I spend time with loneliness 
I feel the cold that you left with me 
These hollow feelings, low level ceilings 
I’m healing, revealing, I’m through with kneeling 

[bridge] 
We could’ve been better (better)
At restraining ourselves 
From destroying the shelves 
That held everything we had 
Our life sits on the floor 
Every picture is torn
Blood from a roses thorn 
Drips all over the remnants 

[chorus] 
Now in the calm nights and settling dust 
I start to think about what happened to us 
Avoidance and ignorance drove us apart 
Lost the game, placed the blame, and broke the heart 
Now in the calm nights and settling dust 
I start to think about what happened to us 
Misguidance and influence drove us apart 
Gained the shame, pushed the blame, and lost the heart 

[outro] 
Now in the calm nights and settling dust 
I start to think about what happened to us 
Avoidance and ignorance drove us apart 
Lost the game, placed the blame, and broke the heart
